Story

Hello! Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I at least wanted to reward you with a nice heartwarming message for when you got here. How about the fact you can change a life, or indeed several, for the humble sum of £1.66! It's true - this is all it costs to send a book out to the hands of a sub-Saharan African reader. Given that each book is read by at least five people - the great joy of public libraries! - a little goes an awful long way.

To live life without being able to read a map, a medicine bottle or a voting ballot is something that I can hardly even fathom. By sending out over 500,000 brand new and carefully selected books to sub-Saharan Africa each year, Book Aid International is trying to help solve the chronic book shortage and empower Africans to make informed decisions about their everyday lives. 

I'd be so delighted if you could help.

thanks!
